Choosing a fold up pushchair (Continuing)

Fold-up pushchairs are easy to get on and off public transportation or can be tucked away in the back of cars. They are also lightweight and compact making them ideal for travel by plane.

This UPPAbaby is one of the smallest folds we've seen. However, it has some limitations, such as a small canopy and no storage.

Folding is easy

Think about the location and how you'll use the black pushchair before choosing one. If you're planning to travel with your baby on a plane, a compact, lightweight buggy is a good option as it can be tucked into the overhead compartments for luggage and is typically small enough to be carried on your shoulder when unfolded. You should choose an infant stroller that can fold with one hand while you hold your child. It should also have a handle that is height-adjustable so that caregivers and parents of different heights are able to use it comfortably. If you're planning to go hiking with baby, a swivel-lock wheel is essential for manoeuvring over uneven terrain. Look for features like an extended recline that allows the baby to sleep comfortably while on the move, and an extendable sun canopy.

Many pushchairs claim to be able to be folded in one-hand but it's important to test it before purchasing to confirm it really is possible while being able to hold your child. The UPPAbaby G-Luxe was rated highly by our test participants, due to its clever mechanism that transforms into a compact unit that is smaller than an umbrella. It comes with a pocket to keep phones and keys as well as a recliner seat which can be adjusted with just a single click.

A few of the smallest fold up pushchairs are designed to be used starting at birth, and include a lie-flat seat or the option of an additional carrycot, so they're perfect for infants who prefer to sleep throughout the daytime. If you intend to utilize your travel system from the beginning, a single click attachment system for an infant Car Seat is a must.

The smallest of the bunch is the Cybex Libelle, is an ideal choice for families who travel because it folds smaller than the YOYO2 (only 4cm thinner) and weighs less at under 6kg so is extremely light to carry around. It is also simple to use with a one-hand fold and the seat reclines to accommodate toddler napping. This model is also a great choice for hikers since it comes with an oversized front swivel which can be used on any terrain.

One-Handed folding

When you're going for an afternoon stroll in the park, whizzing around town on public transport or heading to distant shores with a baby it's a good idea to have a pushchair that folds easily. The pressure of managing a child bags, keys, shopping bags and other essentials of everyday life while trying to fold a complicated travel system isn't a good idea and hence pushchairs with one hand strollers are often the most popular choices for parents.

One-handed fold pushchairs can be folded by pressing one or more buttons. Some models require a bit more effort, or even two hands, but the convenience of the process means they are still a breeze to carry and put away. They are also lightweight, making them easier to carry around or fit in tight spaces.

An excellent example is the G-Luxe model from UPPAbaby. This model is one of the easiest to fold with one hand in our roundup. It only requires pulling a lever on the chassis. It can also stand up on its own, which makes it ideal for storing in the corner of a cafe or foyer.

Another model with an easy, one-handed fold is the Bugaboo Bee. It's one of the original compact-fold pushchairs and despite being bigger than others it has a simple, easy to fold. It also has a range of excellent features, such as the deep reclining seat as well as an expandable UPF50+ canopy to protect your child on sunny days.

Some of these pushchairs are designed specifically for older babies and toddlers. However there are many options that can be used starting from the time of birth. These pushchairs have seats that can be completely or partially lied-flat, and some even include an infant car seat. MFM editor Gemma has traveled extensively with her son in the Babyzen YOYO, which is one of the first buggys of this kind and remains a popular choice. It's a little less compact fold than some others, but it's very easy to carry and fits in the cabin luggage allowance on the majority of airlines.

Lightweight

When a pushchair folds, it takes up a tiny space, and it's often very light as well. It's especially the case for umbrella-folded pushchairs which weigh less than 20 pounds. They are great for short walks on flat surfaces or pavements and for transportation between your vehicle and other' houses. They're also a good choice if you do not want to invest in an all-terrain stroller but prefer to use your stroller only on flat surfaces.

Think about getting tyres that are air-filled for use with your compact fold-up pushchair on difficult terrain, on sand or on rough surfaces. These are a bit heavier than normal tyres, but they'll provide more grip and traction. It's important to remember that the extra weight will increase the size of your pushchair deals.

Many of the lightweight pushchairs are made for older children and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own, but there are a growing number that can be used for babies from birth. These include models like the Mamas & Papas Airo, that has a lie-flat seating and the option of adding an additional carrycot (sold separately) or an infant car seat to create an entire travel system. Some compact-fold pushchairs are even designed to work with a stroller board to transform them into a double-buggy - great to take Grandma or Grandad along too.

A lot of the top lightweight pushchairs are very simple to operate. Some are simply open or closed with the push of a button, while others have more intricate mechanisms but they still take up a small amount of space. Some even have a strap on the wrist that lets you keep hold of the pushchair while it's folded. This could make a significant difference to the ease of move around.

While some lightweight pushchairs are very stripped down however, the 3D Lite from Contours is an excellent example of how a super-compact stroller can be packed full of features. It also has a large basket, lots of padding, adjustable handlebars (for parents who are tall or short) and a massive canopy that protects. Additionally, it's extremely light and comes with a handy carry bag.

Compact

When selecting a stroller, you must consider the size of the stroller when folded. Some pushchairs have a very compact fold, whereas others are larger depending on the overall size and features.

Compactness is also important if you plan to travel with your stroller. Some models can fold down to a compact size, or even into bags making them a breeze to put in the trunk of your car or carry on a plane. If you're planning to travel often or live in a city where you aren't able to use a large stroller and pushchair every day This is the ideal solution for you.

The most desirable pushchairs are those that have a smooth, fuss-free folding process that can be done with just one hand. The Babyzen YOYO is the first of its kind and has been imitated since, but it stands apart thanks to its clever features and superior design.

The Babyzen YOYO features an impressively small fold that is slightly bigger than most hand luggage allowances, making it perfect for travel. It can be used at the airport between the flight's departure and landing it.

The Mamas and Papas Airo is a compact pushchair egg that offers more space. This has a great seat that can recline fully and has plenty of padding to keep your child comfortable. It can be used as early as birth with the addition a newborn cocoon bag or carrycot (not included).

The Ergobaby Metro+ can also be used as a lightweight stroller for everyday use. It has a compact fold that can be positioned upright when not in use. However it's not as simple to use as other models and can make lots of noise when you adjust the canopy, which can awake your baby.
